MAGAZINE FOR TYPESETTING-MACHINES.

To all whom it may concern: I I

Be it known that I, HANS PETERSEN, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of Davenport, in the county of Scott and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazines for Typesetting-Machines, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had:

therein to the accompanying drawing;

This invention relates to improvements in typographical machines of that class employing a plurality of magazines with supporting andshifting means therefor whereby any .of the magazines may be brought into operative relation with the assembling and distributing mechanisms.

The object of the present invention is to improve machines of the character referred to, to provide an improved multiple magazine system of a comparatively simple nature, providing for the employing and eflicient manipulation of fractional length magazines, and also for the use of such lighter fractional length magazines and full length magazines together.

The invention, with other objects and advantages thereof,.and the particular construction, combinations and arrangement of parts comprising the same, will be understood from the hereinafter contained de tailed'description," when considered in con nection with the accompanying drawing forming part vhereof and illustrating one embodiment of the invention.

In the drawing 2- ,Figure 1 is a side elevation of alinotype machine equipped with a multiple magazine and supporting and shifting means therefor in accordance with the present invention.

.Fig. 2 is a front elevation.

The invention comprehends the use of a fractional length magazine supported on the frame of the machine in operative posi-' tion, one or more fractional length magazines, and a support for the same vertically adjustable to position them in operative position with the first mentioned fractional length magazine, the latter being adapted to serve as an entrance section for the other fractional length magazine or magazlnes.

The invention further contemplates the use ofone or more full length magazines with the fractional length magazines before referred to, said full length magazine or magazines being carried and moved into I Specification of Letters Patent,

operative position by the verticallyadjust f if able magazine supporting frame, and the fractional length entrance section magazine belng supported uponthe mam frame to be lifted therefrom out of operative position through the medium of the vertically ad-;

justable magazine supporting frame.

'While in the drawing, I have"illustratedpa by way of eXample, a specific embodiment of the invention, it will, ofcourse, be understood that modifications and changes in the particular construction shown, variations in the number of fractional length and full lengthmagazines employed and the carrying out of the invention inother forms as will appeal to those skilled in the art and falling within the scope of the appended claims, may be practised without departing from the spirit of'the invention. n

In the drawing, 1 designates the frame portion of the assembler entrance. These part'smay be of any suitable form, ethe construction shown being one of the wellknown types and only indicated in a general way,

5 designates the fractional length magazine supportedon the frame l'of the ma chine at the upper portion thereof and toward the rear in operative relation with the distribute r '2. ,This fractional length ofthe machine, 2 the distributer, and 3 a 1 magazine is not intended for the storage of matrices but 1s adapted to serveas an entrance section for-one or more fractional length magazines, which are adapted to be moved vertically into operative position with said entrance section magazine 5 and the assembler entrance 3. In the present] instance, two" of j such fractional length I magazines 6-and7 are-shown carried by a vertically adjustable frame9 ,'said frame be- 1 ent showing, said full length magazine or cally into operative relation with the, dis-. tributer 2; and assembler entrance ,3, the enjmagazines being adapted to be moved verti- 7 position therewith, the matrices. passing,

moved into operative position. 7 Any, suit.

able supporting means for the entrance section magazine that will answer the purpose In the construction may be employed. shown, the frame 1 is provided with supporting ledges or bars 16 at each side and the entrance section magazine 5- has laterally projecting lugs 17 at each end to rest upon the ledges or bars 16. At their for ward ends the bars 16 are provided with hook portions or angular projections 18 adapted to engage the forward laterally projecting lugs 17 and hold the same on the bars. The fractional" length magazines 6, 7, and the full length magazine 14 are provided with projections or lugs 19 at the upper sides thereof and at their under sides with ribs or lugs 20, the magazines carried by the magazine supporting frame excepting the lowermost magazine resting upon the projection or lugs of the one next below in the stack, and the ribs or projections 20 at the undersides of the magazines engaging the sides of the projections or lugs 19 and serving to maintain the stack ,of magazines. in proper position. .The fractional lengthmagazine 5 also has ribs. or projections 20 at the under side thereof adapted to cooperate, in a similar manner as hereinafter explained, with the pairs of projections or lugs 19 at the upper side of the rear part of the full length magazine 14. V V

In the drawing, the,.magazines are all shown in their lowermost positions, the upper fractional. length magazine 5 being supported. upon, theledgesor bars 16, and the fractional. length ,magazine 6 inoperative from the distributer mechanism at the top of the main point through fractional-, 'magawhich they mayibe discharged. into. the assemblerentrance 3. By raisingv the maga zine supporting frame, the fractional magazine 7 may; be positioned in operative rela tion with the fractional length magazine 5 andgthe assembler entrance 3, said fractional length magazine-5 then serving asoan entrance sectionfor thefractional magazine 7 and so on throughout the series of fractional length magazines carried by the magazine supporting frame. As the last of the series of fractional length magazines or lowermost fractional length magazine is broughtto' operative position, the lugs'or projections-19 at the upper-side of the rear part 'of'the full length magazine 14 will be positioned directly in -fr'ont of the lugs 20 onthe fractional length magazine 5 and so that the fractional length magazine 5- will also rest thereupon. A further advance of the magazine frame to bring the lowermost magazine 14 intooperative position will result in the fractional length magazine 5 being lifted from its support on the main frame beyond operative position, and the full length magazine 14 being moved. into operative relation with the distributer 2 and assembler entrance 3. When the adjustment is reversed and the -magazine supporting frame lowered, as'soon as the fractional length magazine 5 reachesthe supporting bars 16, the lateral projections 17 will engage with the 'bars, and said magazine 5 will then be in its normal position to coopplurality of fractional length magazines arranged in vertical series one above another, a fractional length magazineadapted to be positioned in operative position separately with other of the fractional length magazines, and shifter means for the magazines.

2. In a typographical machine, the combination of a full length magazine, and a plurality of fractional length magazines arranged in vertical series one above another,

a fractional length magazine being support} ed at the upper part of the frame inoperative position and adapted to serve separately as an entrance section for each of theother fractional length magazines, and shifting means for the magazines.

3; Ina typographical machine, the combination of a plurality offractional length magazines movable vertically into operative posltion, one of said' magazines being adapted to serve separately as an entrance sec-' tlon for each of the other magazines,-means for supporting said fractional lengthmaga zine.5,-into.the fractional magazine 6, from Zme on the frame at the upper part thereof a lower full length magazine movable vertically into operative position, means for vertically shifting the other fractional zine, and for moving said fractionallength.

magazine out of operative position and po-':
